Nick - If you hold the off button down for an extra second the light will shut off vs. cycling through.

I did buy a $40 light at Advance Auto a couple weeks ago that is exactly what afterburn 549 does not want as it's big with the battery pack on the back of your head. Man, it puts out some good light. You have to charge it daily if you wear it on your head all day like I do. More light (from a flood perspective) than the $15 Amazon ones but the cheaper ones are very adequate.
Yep that's how the ones I posted work. I have two others that I have to cycle through. Energizer with AAA's, HART rechargable that's HUGE both need to push the power button repeatedly. I bought the ones on Amazon, because like you I keep a spotless shop and never seem to lose things.
